Zealous Advocacy for the Injured in Bergen County & New Jersey
Under premises liability law, property owners must take reasonable precautions to keep their premises safe for visitors. They may be held legally accountable for negligence when accidents and injuries happen due to unsafe property conditions.
Slip-and-fall injuries are a typical example; they can occur in supermarkets, shopping malls, parking lots, and sidewalks.

Types of Properties in New Jersey Premises Liability Claims
To pursue a premises liability claim, the injured party must prove that the property owner was negligent. This involves demonstrating that the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and had a reasonable opportunity to address it but failed to do so.
The types of premises that can be involved can include the following.
Public: Parks, government buildings, sidewalks, and recreational facilities.
Private: Private homes, apartment complexes, or other residential property.
Each property type presents challenges, particularly when determining who is responsible for maintaining safety. For example, multiple parties, such as landlords, tenant businesses, or third-party maintenance companies, may share liability for accidents at commercial properties.

Types of Accidents in New Jersey Premises Liability Cases
Premises liability covers a wide range of accidents and injuries.
Slip and falls: These happen when floors are wet, slippery, or uneven without warning signs to alert visitors.
Trip and falls: Caused by poorly maintained surfaces, loose carpets, cluttered walkways, or unexpected hazards like cords or debris.
Structural hazards: Injuries from collapsing ceilings, broken stairs, malfunctioning elevators, or unsafe railings.
Inadequate security: Insufficient lighting, broken locks, or a lack of security personnel can lead to assaults or crimes.
Falling objects: Instances where improperly secured shelves, signage, or construction equipment injure visitors.
Swimming pool accidents: Drownings or injuries linked to unsafe pool conditions or a lack of proper supervision.
Premises liability accidents often result in serious injuries, ranging from fractures and sprains to head and spinal cord injuries. These can entail significant medical bills, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation.
Why Is Legal Representation Crucial in Premises Liability Claims?
Premises liability cases are rarely straightforward. Property owners and insurers may deny fault or argue that you were partially responsible. Proving negligence can be difficult; it requires a thorough investigation, including collecting evidence such as photographs, surveillance footage, witness testimony, and maintenance records.
Additionally, New Jersey’s comparative negligence rules may reduce your compensation if you are found partially at fault, making it critical to build a strong case.
We help clients in the following ways.
Investigating: We can gather evidence, identify liable parties, and reconstruct the incident to support your claim.
Proving negligence: Establishing that the property owner failed to uphold their duty of care involves detailed legal arguments and compelling evidence.
Pursuing maximum compensation: We consider all your damages, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
Communicating with insurance companies: We aggressively negotiate with insurers to counter any attempts to undervalue your claim or pressure you into an unfair settlement.
Litigating when necessary: Our civil trial lawyers can take your case to court when necessary; our team includes lawyers certified by New Jersey’s Supreme Court.
Let our firm’s 35+ years of experience provide the powerful voice you need in these complex cases throughout New Jersey and NYC.
